It turned out that the band playing the main stage when I came was a Blues band. That's fairly typical of Jazz festivals too - though I personally prefer Jazz and would've hoped to have caught that. There was a great vibe, and wonderful to see so may people coming out enjoying it together and supporting local business. Will be back for sure.

Just finished watching Peter Pan, A Holiday Pantomime with my little nieces. The Oakville Centre…read moreFor The Performing Arts is a perfect community auditorium, seating around 400 people, to host The Burl Oak Theatre Group's production. The Centre was filled, seemingly, to capacity and radiated with energy the of young children and their families. The play, itself was well done. It kept my four and seven year old nieces engaged for two hours- a difficult task to accomplish. Based on the Peter Pan story, of Disney fame, this interpretation is seeded by contemporary and retro songs that had adults and kids bouncing in their seats. Accolades to the director, Chantal Forde and Tim Cadney, who played Captain Hook and Mr. Darling, are merited. The latter actor stole the show. Bravo!

Jessica Simpson was the opening act for the first half hour, then there was a 20 minute break, and then Teri and her band belted out the tunes for an hour and a half! Fabulous!! Meanwhile, I purchased the tickets on line which was easy, and they were scanned easily to get in. The staff was friendly and helpful. The seats were close and comfy in this intimate theatre, and it holds about 1000 people (looked like it was sold out). Although they sell beverages during the intermission, there's also a water dispenser in the wall (like at a hockey rink, to fill a bottle), and the facility provides plastic cups - and the water is tasty and free! To top it all off, they ask people to toss the cups in recycling. I would go back.

You come here to drink cheap drinks and forget the world outside because no matter who you are or what your deal is, you can always come in for a drink and I love that about this place.

Don't be scared away from the place because it is what it is and know exactly what you're in for.

The steak was tender like a brisket and it came in a Demi-glacé that was really good. It was nice that they could make this dish gluten and dairy free. The steak fell past the way brisket meat separates. The PRAWN AGLIO E OLIO was very good as well. My husband really enjoyed this pasta dish and it was served with 5 prawns. Would we Return? Sure, if we're in the area.

And if you don't feel like deciding, the "I Don't Give a F%*K" chef's menu is such a vibe -- just sit back and let them do their thing Overall: incredible atmosphere, high-quality food, and a true steakhouse experience that delivers.

This is my second visit to the Riyasat Indian restaurant…read more This restaurant was spotless and very nicely adorned. The music was at a nice level and there was lots of places to sit. The waitress was very friendly and the food was served hot and quick. I have to watch what I eat because of celiac disease. I have to eat a gluten free diet. There were a lot of options for me to choose from. I typically skip starches so i did not have any naan or rice. The food was excellent but for the price, the portions were much smaller than what I am used to. The meal was well over $30 for me to order two dishes. The food did not fill the plate. The curry chicken was well above par for most restaurants thanks to an excellent sauce, and the Dahl was good, but I would have been enjoyed it more had it been a little thicker. I enjoyed the meal. I will be back.

We're from out of town, so it was their website that initially won us over; this was clearly an amazing group of performers, and their song selection was precisely what we were hoping for. From there, we got into Skype contact with James, who was immediately charming, obliging, and very practical. Which set another precedent: that this is a group of professionals. There was zero friction in the preparation. Could they travel to Niagara-on-the-Lake? Absolutely. And stay late? Sure. Learn a song? Yes. Accommodate a father-daughter dance, pause their set for a brief ceremony at midnight, play something on loop for a traditional Slovakian wedding dance? No problems. And they had recommendations and advice at every turn. The day of, they showed up early and handled all their prep. They managed to tiptoe in during the speeches, perfectly timed for the first dance. A miscue on our part was handled in stride, and all night they were totally attentive to both us and our guests. It goes without saying that the music was incredible, that everyone was up and dancing, that the vocalist was out of this world and that our man James killed it on trumpet. Having the St. Royals relieved us of so much worry. We had no qualms about relying on them, and our experience bore that out: they were consummate professionals, and amazing performers. Our guests are still raving about the quality of the music. And please, whatever you do: don't forget the brass.
